I predict that Nelson will take Schaub down, who has admitted to having poor wrestling. A crucifix is not out of the question, but I see him beating the shit out of Brendan the whole first round, wearing him down. The second round will be all Nelson again, but this time standing up. Schaub has excellent hands, but I think he will be worn out from the first round beating. Nelson will catch him and finish him with GnP.

By the way, I think that Schaub is a great prospect. If he wins, I will not be mad. I just think he is not ready for Nelson yet. Either way, I think he will one day be a contender.

Nelson could have done this to pretty much 80 percent of the people in the house with no problem

I like your foresight. I know that Nelson is going to try and "put on a show" for the big stage, as he has mentioned before. I can definitely see Nelson playing his game to wear down Schaub, then when Schaub is worn out from all of the work he will have to do to get out of the first round, Nelson will then start to play Schaub's game, just to show, or say that he can beat a striker in striking on the big stage.

I think someone like Wes Shivers would have been the toughest match up for Nelson in the house. It's all about match-ups. I think Shiver's strength, and not having to chase down McSweeney in the octagon would have aided his horrible cardio versus a grappling Nelson. I also think Shivers is one of three fighters who are too strong to be caught in that position--along with Darkness, and Wren. As opposed to Marcus, I also think Shivers could easily avoid being KO.

To be fair though, Schaub has started off each of his fights badly while ending them in fashion, so if Nelson began dominating the first round, I still would say Schaubs very dangerous

This is true, but I don't think Nelson will slug with him until he can sniff the blood in the water.
